Mazu Networks Announces Availability of White Paper on Reducing the Burden of Regulatory Compliance

Final White Paper in Mazu Networks Series on the Security Benefits of NBA Provides Readers with Insight on How to Achieve Compliance Readiness While Minimizing Business Impact

CAMBRIDGE, MASS. - August 27, 2007 - Mazu Networks, the leading(1) provider of Network Behavior Analysis (NBA) systems, today announced the final white paper in the company’s series on the security benefits of NBA. The paper titled, "Reduce the Burden of Regulatory Compliance," provides enterprises with practical information on how NBA systems enable enterprises to better establish and enforce policies to contend with growing industry regulations.

In "Reduce the Burden of Regulatory Compliance," Mazu Networks discusses the challenges in achieving and maintaining regulatory compliance while minimizing the impact on resources and business operations. The paper discusses how through the network visibility that NBA systems provide, security teams gain the information they need to: develop network inventory with dependencies and usage; protect regulated systems from unauthorized access; respond to auditor requests; and develop and enforce policies. NBA solutions provide this level of visibility by analyzing network traffic data from an organization's routers and switches and continuously building a profile of the behavior of systems, users and applications inside the network.

"Compliance efforts in most organizations are inefficient at best and security teams are in desperate need of a solution to help address regulatory requirements in a programmatic way," said Paul Brady, CEO, Mazu Networks. "The latest white paper in our series discusses how NBA systems can help security teams implement a sustainable and cost-effective process to ensure that their company complies with any mandated industry regulation."

The complete Mazu Networks white paper series focuses on the four core areas in which NBA can provide significant value to security operations. These areas include: detecting unauthorized activities, users, applications or hosts; resolving incidents 7-10x faster; detecting/stopping internal threats and malware; and establishing/enforcing policies to reduce the cost of compliance."
